I'm trying something new this week...as part of my 2016 business plan, I've decided to launch anEtsy Shop to sell a selection of my stock photos. The decision was based on a conversation my husband and I had last week. I've been looking for a platform to sell photos, but nothing seems to be a good fit. He suggested Etsy. Knowing only that Etsy is primarily for selling artsy/crafty, handmade items, I was hesitant, but curious. I did a little research and found that several photographers display and sell their work here. So I signed up. And so far I've had 12 views...half of which were of my own doing. But I'll let it ride.

The problem is that I'm horrible at self-promotion. I'm just not wired that way. I completely shy away from any talk of myself or my work. I can promote clients' work 24/7, but when it comes to putting my own name out there, I'm a disaster. Maybe this Etsy Shop is a good thing for me; a smaller audience to get my feet wet before I dive into the deep end. Let's see what February has to offer.
